Decades on the Trail of a Shadowy Agency
By SCOTT SHANE

WASHINGTON — For 30 years, on a sometimes lonely hunt, James Bamford has 
pursued that great white whale of American intelligence, the National 
Security Agency. It has been a jarring ride at times.

He was threatened with prosecution in 1982 for revealing the secrets of 
that mammoth eavesdropping agency in his pathbreaking first book, “The 
Puzzle Palace.”

By 2001, when he published a fat second volume on the subject, “Body of 
Secrets,” attitudes had changed and officials actually hosted a book 
party on the agency’s sprawling campus at Fort Meade, Md. Code breakers 
and linguists stood in line for four hours to have him sign the book — 
though many declined to give him their names for the inscription.
